Tricky part #1: We had to glue the paper clips inside the fishies first.

There is a little magnet inside the silver hook that will "hook" the fish.

Tricky part #2: The waves...

Each wave was glued on separately, and only glued around the edges

so that the waves formed little pockets to put the fishes in. Please note the pattern is only for the top edge of the wave, you must cut it at least 2-4 inches longer per the picture. The lighter blue goes all the way down, the darker can be shorter and played with, I actually cut mine off at an angle for a different look at the bottom.

Tricky part #3: The little boat.

We only glued the sides of the boat, so that the bottom has a little hole for the rod to go through.

Tricky part #4: Putting the magnet inside the hook.

That part was just a little bit tricky because the magnet was slightly larger than we had planned on.

Oh, and if you want to do this page, make sure you get a super strong magnet!

All in all, those little tricky parts paid off (but if you have any questions, let us know)!

This is such a fun little page, and I can't wait to finish this month's page...

This is absolutely adorable! I found your blog through the blog hop at Live.Laugh.Rowe. -- so glad I did! I would love for you to link some of your projects up at our link party going on now! http://herestohandyandy.blogspot.com/2012/03/pinteresting-link-party-week-31.html

Wow these are awesome. I just made the pirate ship. Only took an hour and a half AND I was multi-tasking!!! Thank you so much for you ideas!! I was going to buy a book as I am really strapped for time, but decided I was too cheap to spend the money so I am making one myself and this is my first page and it was so much fun!!

It is incredibly beautiful! When my daughter was little I used to have one. A good idea would be to create a sweater with buttons: kids will learn how to use them. Another picture was to pick up apples from a tree and put them into a basket.
